Body die for 240 bee

[Dmagna]

Is there a way to make one using a 06 based cartridge? I am getting clickers and the brass is expensive. Or is it possible to take a 240 bee die and cut it in half to get down to the belt?

If you want to size lower and just the belt, then yes, you can cut the shoulder section off and use it like a body die, but just remember you will probably need an altered shell holder, I turn .010" off the top and adjust the die as normal.
The belt here is the issue, a regular '06 die will not work.

Cheers.

I am getting clickers and need to resize closer to the belt. There is no collet die for this cartridge being that it is the only cartridge using this case. So just trying to figure out how to resize down to the belt. Thanks for the help. Going to at least try it

If you are going to make a ring die out of a 30/06 sizing die a small base 30/06 die might be better. JMO
